BUT...
there are tyre supply issues and so we will try and make a decision by Wed 4th whether or not we will go ahead with club champs.
If it does go ahead we will post an entry form on Sporty.
Format - CIK with 2 quallies, a prefinal and a final - no. of laps TBA.
You need to be a member by 9pm Sunday 1st November to be eligible to compete at club champs.
More details as soon as we have made a decision.
Kinds regards from the Committee.
TYRES.
A reminder that tyres are NOT to be left at the track or put into the rubbish bins. They cost a lot of money to dispose of.
If you leave tyres at the track you will have your membership revoked immediately and potentially you could be banned from using it forever.
We are not a rubbish transfer station. You must take all rubbish and tyres away with you. You have already agreed to this rule when you accepted the rules as part of your membership renewal.
We will be installing cameras at the complex in the not so distant future and if you are caught dumping your tyres and rubbish at the complex then you will lose your membership.
Thanks in advance from the Committee.
PRACTICE RULES
Please sign in using the Govt Covid Tracer app as well and the IDme app - details and QR codes are on display around the complex.

We will open the track over the lunch break and after racing so you can practice what you have been watching. Also, a lot of racing members will be there and will be only too happy to offer technical and racing advice.
If demand is there we can open the track for you at other times during the day if you wish...we are flexible so please don't hesitate to ask for Terry Palmer or Marin Vucich or Russell & Gaye Hoskins or Graeme Lambert or the chick on the gate Sheryl McIntosh in the first instance.

CLUB INFO:
Click here for an Excel kart set-up sheet where you can record all your data for each meeting - a great resource to look back at see from past events what works and what doesnt. You can print the second page on the back of the first page so you can record lap times, rpm, temp etc for each race and lap so you see all the data for a meeting on one page. There is also a page to record your base set-ups. Best to go 'save as' when the prompt comes up, save it, then open it in Excel.
Lap records (as recorded by the AMB lapscoring system) are here.
